The 1994 European Tour, titled as the 1994 Volvo Tour for sponsorship reasons, was the 23rd season of the European Tour, the main professional golf tour in Europe since its inaugural season in 1972.
It was the seventh season of the tour under a title sponsorship agreement with Volvo, that was announced in May 1987.
Changes for 1994
The season was made up of 38 tournaments counting for the Order of Merit, and several non-counting "Approved Special Events".
Aside from scheduling, initially there was just one change from the previous season, with the addition of the Extremadura Open. This created a sequence of five consecutive tournaments in Spain through February and March, and a total of nine events in the country although the Madrid Open would later be cancelled.
Shortly after the start of the season, the Roma Masters was cancelled and replaced by the Tournoi Perrier de Paris, a team event with prize money not counting towards the Order of Merit. In late January, a further tournament was added to the schedule with the inaugural Chemapol Trophy Czech Open, opposite the Toyota World Match Play Championship in mid-October. The Madrid Open, originally scheduled for 20–23 October, was cancelled with the Chemapol Trophy Czech Open taking the dates. In addition, the Kronenbourg Open was not held.
